writeup (md)
CB X Round 1 Division 4
Ness 53.3%
Ness quietly outlasts Shadow in a debated opener

Ness won a debated matchup that stayed fairly close and stable, with Shadow never quite finding enough momentum to complete the comeback. The writeup treats the result as proof that Ness had quietly become a more reliable midcarder.

CB IX Round 1 Division 3
Ness 47.0%
CATS 21.2%
Ness dismisses the Locke upset case quickly

Ness beat Locke without the trouble some expected from Old Square's recent improvement. The writeup uses the result to argue that Final Fantasy VI characters without Dissidia exposure still lacked meaningful contest strength.

writeup (md)
CB VIII Round 1 Jenova
Ness 64.8%
Geno 35.2%
Ness SFFs Geno and restores his standing 1

Ness overwhelmed Geno and restored confidence in himself before the next round. Geno's inability to resist even Ness's fanbase overlap is treated as evidence that he should no longer receive regular contest nominations.

SFF: The writeup explicitly says Ness SFFed Geno, using the scale of Geno's collapse to argue that he had little independent contest strength.

CB VII Round 1 Division 6
Mewtwo 41.8%
Pac-Man 25.1%
Ness 18.3%
Mewtwo crushes Ness and sends Pac-Man through 1

Mewtwo erased the embarrassment of his earlier contest debut with an emphatic performance. Ness collapsed against the stronger Nintendo presence, allowing Pac-Man to advance instead.

SFF: The writeup explicitly says Mewtwo SFFed Ness badly, leaving Ness far weaker than expected and opening the second advancing spot for Pac-Man.

writeup (md)
CB VI Round 1 Division 5
Alucard 27.8%
Ness 25.4%
Liquid steals first from Alucard in a controversial photo finish 2

Alucard erased Liquid Snake's large daytime lead and briefly moved ahead at the very end, only for Liquid to snatch first on the final update. Because both characters advanced anyway, the writeup says the historic photo finish carried less consequence than a one-on-one result would have.

Rally · Cheat: The writeup describes a last-minute Metal Gear rally after Alucard completed his comeback and records complaints that cheating or vote-stuffing may have influenced the razor-thin finish.

SC2K5 Round 1 Mushroom
Ness 55.1%
Ness upsets CJ as the writeup turns to race controversy †OT

Ness's upset over CJ becomes the jumping-off point for a long discussion of the board's race arguments, representation in games, and whether Grand Theft Auto simply underperforms on GameFAQs.

writeup (md)
SC2K4 Round 1 Midgar
Ness 55.1%
Jak 44.9%
Ness exposes the hype around Jak with a convincing win

Ness turned a heavily debated matchup into a convincing victory over Jak. The writeup argues that the board overvalued mainstream sales and undervalued how well a cult RPG character known to GameFAQs users could perform against another weak 3D platformer.

8 1315
writeup (md)
SC2K3 Round 1 East
Bowser 75.1%
Ness 24.9%
Bowser crushes popular upset pick Ness in his debut

Bowser demolished a Ness who had been a popular upset pick, immediately overturning much of the pre-match speculation around the four-pack. The writeup remembers the scale of the blowout as one of the contest's early surprises.

What this is

Each row's Headline and (on filter) narrative come from a ChatGPT reading of that match's Board 8 wiki writeup. The five flags (SFF same-fanbase factor, LFF low-fanbase factor, Rally outside rally, Cheat cheating alleged, Pic match-picture factor) are set only when the writeup asserts that effect — never inferred from the numbers. Hover a check for the note. †OT marks a writeup that mostly wanders off the match.
